Surface Science and 2D Materials

Using state-of-the-art microscopy and investigative technologies to manipulate 2D materials and surfaces down to the atom-by-atom scale

Sustainable Agroecosystems

Managing our soil and water for food and fibre security

Sustainable Energy Materials Lab

Our group bring together an expertise in several different fields including Functional Nanomaterials, Physics of Materials and Electrochemistry, and put it to work for energy-oriented applications with special emphasis on clean energy conversion and storage systems.

Sustainably Intelligent IoT

This research lab focuses on Energy-Harvesting IoT and Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Systems. We develop self-powered sensing technologies and energy-efficient distributed intelligence to enable scalable, resilient, and sustainable monitoring and decision-making in critical infrastructure domains, particularly energy and water systems. Our work rethinks how intelligence is embedded at the edge, where power, data, and connectivity are inherently constrained, by integrating novel sensing, energy harvesting, lightweight machine learning, and distributed AI. This website showcases our research in this important and rapidly growing area, providing a platform to share ongoing projects, publications, and collaborations with the broader research and industry communities.

Trusted Networks Lab

We focus on research in dynamic networks, including IoT, and on trust in these networks, using blockchain
